Pulsations felt in the suprasternal space are probably due to ____________?
Correct answer: C. Inferior thyroid artery
- A. Subclavian artery
- B. Common carotid artery
- C. Inferior thyroid artery
- D. Vertebral artery
Explanation
The inferior thyroid artery approaches the lower thyroid region through the root of the neck, so its pulsation may be transmitted into the suprasternal space. The other listed arteries lie either more laterally or deeper and are less likely to produce this finding.
